About

Randy Murdaugh, Alex Murdaugh's brother, cooperated with investigators. Testimony described his voluntary interview, consent to a phone download, provision of a buccal sample for comparison, and contact with investigators during later follow-up.

Jeannie Seckinger testified that a law-firm loan repayment owed to Randy was paid to Alex instead. She said Randy and Danny Henderson confronted Alex about the missing money and later reported that Alex admitted taking it and would be forced to resign. Annette Griswold also recounted Randy's emotional voicemail and call notifying her that Maggie and Paul had been shot.
